28-8-2023 (HONG KONG) The highly anticipated Miss Hong Kong 2023 pageant came to a thrilling conclusion last night, with Hilary Chong emerging as the crowned champion. The event, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, was attended by a star-studded audience and featured a series of exciting segments that showcased the contestants’ talents, confidence, and beauty.
The evening kicked off with a unique segment that saw the contestants compete against an AI version of a beauty queen named Evelyn. The four male hosts, including veteran television host Mr. Ng, took turns asking the contestants questions to test their wit and intelligence. While the audience was left in awe of the AI’s capabilities, some viewers questioned how closely it resembled a real person.
Next up was a singing performance led by renowned singer Mike Tsang, which saw the contestants showcase their graceful dance moves. Lovelle Wang, contestant number 17, stood out as the best dancer, impressing the judges and audience with her poise and elegance.
The third segment, themed “Conversations with Future Self,” aimed to evoke emotions and featured an aged version of a beauty queen created using AI technology. The contestants engaged in a dialogue with their future selves, but the segment felt somewhat disconnected and overly long, with some viewers feeling that the inclusion of AI was forced.
The excitement picked up again in the fourth segment, as the contestants donned swimsuits and performed a captivating dance routine. The recipient of the “Miss Friendship” award was announced as Jenny, followed by the eagerly anticipated swimsuit Q&A session. The contestants displayed their creativity in answering questions, but it was clear that the audience was eager to witness the contestants’ embodiment of feminine beauty.
The sixth segment featured a group of aspiring stars from the TVB talent show and members of “The Voice at Midlife,” but their performance failed to impress. In the seventh and final segment, the contestants appeared in traditional cheongsam dresses, with Lynn Wang being awarded the title of “Miss Photogenic.”
